Best stoner movie?

Talia · **Reply #1 on:** March 27, 2008, 02:22:19 PM

You know, I haven't seen a single one of those movies, and I'm not sad.

birdless · **Reply #2 on:** March 27, 2008, 02:49:44 PM

Bill and Ted... it was Keanu Reeve's best work.

DKT · **Reply #3 on:** March 27, 2008, 05:00:43 PM

What?!?! No Dazed and Confused. Matthew McConahey's best work. (Some might argue Ben Affleck's best, too.) No Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?!?! Fat Benicio Del Toro, bald Johnny Depp! Outrage.

(I'm totally kidding, of course)

I'll go with Bill and Ted's. Haven't seen the others, although I wouldn't mind seeing Harold and Kumar.

Ocicat · **Reply #4 on:** March 27, 2008, 05:27:41 PM

Fear and Loathing. Hands down. Or hands turning into a pile of goo. Or something.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High!!

Showing my age a bit.

Bdoomed · **Reply #6 on:** March 27, 2008, 07:01:52 PM

oh come on guys... Half Baked is by FAR the best here!

Darwinist · **Reply #7 on:** March 27, 2008, 07:02:55 PM

I've only seen Bill and Ted. I would've gone with Fast Times if had been up there, but I guess I'm old. Mr Hand: "What are you, people? On dope?"

Hey, the original post was edited after I posted... I posted to "." (it was just a ~~period~~ dot

). I can't claim to be a stoner movie aficionado, but wouldn't any given Cheech and Chong movie qualify?

Very true. Actually, I think they wrote the book on the stoner movie genre.

Sorry; posted off the top of my head in a hurry. I just wanted to be sure B&T was on there.

[edit]
Who voted for Smiley Face? That movie was awful.

CammoBlammo · **Reply #11 on:** March 27, 2008, 10:20:36 PM

I had to vote for Dude, where's my car? because (as usual) it's the only one of the list I can remember seeing.

I did see the Wayne's World movies. I remember watching Dude and thinking, 'What is it with kids these days? They're just running round after girls and pot, and ending up in completely ludicrous situations. Not like the stoner movies when I was young.'

It was at that moment I realised I am now officially Old.

It's like Woodstock, if you can remember it, then you weren't there.

The first three would (Up in Smoke, Cheech & Chong's Next Movie, and Nice Dreams). They started to really suck with Things are Tough All Over, but even Nice Dreams wasn't up to the standard of the first two. Anyway, there wasn't much doper content in them after the third.

Oh, and I thought the "420" plus the list itself would kind of telegraph that the subject was stoner movies.

Planish · **Reply #17 on:** March 28, 2008, 05:50:41 AM

What about Koyaanisqatsi, Naked Lunch, Eraserhead, The History of Kelloggs' Corn Flakes ...

Oh. Sorry dude.
I thought you meant movies for stoners to watch.

Haven't seen or even heard of that last one. Of the rest I only liked Naked Lunch.

No, more like, movies about stoners.

I didn't get the "420" thing either. I had to look it up.

Sorry, but it's in my bottom five and may actually occupy the lowest slot. Very few films have insulted my intelligence and my sense of taste like that one has (and considering that my taste in movies is about as lowbrow as my taste in music is pretentious, that's really saying something.)

We had open nominations for about two weeks and then went from there. Look them up to see what was in them . I don't remember.

Don't waste your time. The best part is Jane Fonda naked during the opening credits, and it rapidly goes downhill from there.

williamjamesw · **Reply #29 on:** March 31, 2008, 12:44:29 AM

If any of the older Cheech & Chong movies had been on the list they would have gotten my vote. But, B&T ended up getting it instead. I'm not sure why, but the more modern movies of this type usually just seem overly stupid and insulting to the viewer's intellect. The really good ones are mostly older than I am.

Ocicat · **Reply #30 on:** March 31, 2008, 04:56:17 AM

Fear.

And.

Loathing.
